NEGLECTED BY HIS ATTENDANT.
The Coroners Verdict Regarding the Cause of
Albert d. McConahy's Death.

The coroner's investigation into the cause of
the death of Albert d. McConahy. at the Insane
Hospital, closed with the testimony of under
taker Hedges. who shipped the body to Van
Vert o., the day after the death. on a permit
made out by himself Dr. Wagner spent yester-
day in reviewing the evidence for the purpose Of
making up his verdict. All the witnesses
agreed that the man was badly scalded while
being given his bath. The only thing the
n er had to determine was how the scalding
came about. The attendant who was giving
the patient the bath testified that he put Nc
Conahy into the tub and turned on the cold
towel and when he reached the bath
tub again the had turned the
no water and was being scaIded. The evidence
of DR.. Reyer, and also of DIR. Thomas, before it
was revised was to the effect that the man was
suffering from progressive paralysis, and unable
the water himself. This agreed with
the information the relatives of McConahy had
received direct from the hospital authorities,
both before and after the death. This testimony
tended to weake that given by the attendant in
the mind of the coroner. There were also other
facts that led the to discredit all the
testimony of the attendant It was unreasona-
BILE that he should have turned the cold water on
the and then have left him to get a towel.
If ne did that he showed his unftness for the
position, and could have been held responsible
for the mans death The attendants
Quired to temper the water before the patients
put in. and if the attendant did not do that
and says he did not-the felt that
he should be- censured. After going carefully
the evidence DR.. Wagner returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
IT find that Albert McConahy who died at the In
diana Hosptal for the Insane on Sept D. 1887,
to his death from the effects Of scald received in
bath-tub on Sept. IA, which WAS allowed to occur
through lack of vigilance the part of the attend
ant who had charge of the BATH
A copy of the verdict will be sent to the super
intencent of the hospital this morning, and the
brother of the deceased. at Valparaiso, will also
be sent copy. Those who were informed of the
verdict last evening regarded it as very mild.

John Glasscock mas been experiencing some
dissatisfaction with Indianapolis. and his treat

many errors Yesterday he said that he would
not play in Indianapolis another season, and
went so far as to threaten to buy him new set
of carpenters tools the first of next week, 60
home and return to his trade, to never play ball
again. 1t is known that Glasscock asked not to
be put on the list. preferrng to be
traded to Chicago Detroit, but, notwithstand-
ing his request, he put the list. He is
credited with saving. yesterday, that he knew
the club could get Pfeffer Sam Thompson for
him, and said he would insist on being released.
The managers of the club are not worrying over
the talk, and will retain Glasscock for next
years service. It is doubtful if he could
be traded for Pfeffer if it were desirable, and
Manager Watkins says Thompson will not be
traded or sold anybody. In speaking of

Another Excitlng Game with DetrOit
The Indianapolis club got bad start in the
game with the Detroits yesterday. but came
near enough winning at the close to make the
contest very exciting Moffett, as usual. was
rather wild in his pitching at the beginning of
the game, but he proved the playing con-
tinued, and after the fourth inning only one safe
hit was made off of his delivery Getzein's best
work was done in the beginning. but
In the eighth inning he weakened, and seven
of the twelve hits by the Indianapolis players
we're made then. Throughout the game there
great deal of batting, however, and alto
getber seventeen of the put-outs were on flies
that were caught by the felders. Seery,
Thompson and Brown distinguished themselves
by making some very difficult catches. feat
ure of the game was the number of men that
Getzein struck out In the eighth inning, when
seven hits were made off OF him, he retired the
side on strike-outs. Hackett gave Moffett splen-

honors.
The first two men at bat for the Detro it's were
sent to first called balls, and one of them,
Richardson, scored a hit by Thompson. In
the next inning Hanlon scored on singles by
himself and Getzein. In the fourth inning,
singles by Dunlap, White and Getzein, and two
base hits by Richardson and Broutners yielded
four runs. In the seventh Brouthers scored on
a two-base hit by himself and single by
Thompson.
The first run of the Indianapolis club
made in the fourth inning on hits by Shomberg
end Denny and passed ball No more runs
scored after that until the eighth inning.
After Moffett had struck out Seery and Glass
cock made singles and Shombere was sent to
first on called balls Singles were then made by
Denny, Gardner and Brown. together with
a two-base hit by McGeachy, and FIVE
runs were scored. With Gardner and
